Glad to report that, as of yesterday, these are finally at my local sorting office. Customs charge of £12.24 though.. would have been cheaper to order the two figures seperately and pay two lots of postage. Damn this country and its robbing government!!

That's why having a look at the search facility on thiis site is a good idea as I have posted exactly that advice for UK orders of 2 figs or more months ago - Customs seem to have latched onto parcels from Mail On the Move with a vengence and it does indeed work out cheaper to order two seperate figs and suffer the postage hit rather than fork over £12+ on duty - and they dont get delayed either.

Of course that might not be so easy to do now as you don't get the luxury of time in ordering these things these days - you are lucky to get one oder in.....

As I've always ordered two of each figure on the same order in the past, can someone please tell is the P&P still $9.99 for just one figure or is it less and is their any customs fee for ordering one figure?

I'm just trying to work out weather to order two subscriptions on the same account or separate ones.

Yes, it's still $9.99 P&P for 1 figure. And I haven't been charged by customs for any of my single figure orders.

Shipping is the same price for 1 or 2 figures. But customs doesn't charge anything for 1 figure because the value of the package is then below 18 quid. And because they then charge a special "handling charge" of 8 pounds on top of the V.A.T., you end up paying just over 12 pounds/around 18 dollars in additional fees if you purchase 2 together.

So you spend about $18 in order to save $10 in additional shipping. It's much cheaper to buy 2 separately.

Thanks for the reply's guys. So by my calculations its gunna cost around £12 in P&P to order two separate figures and around £18.20 in P&P and customs fees to order two figures together. Think I'll give it a go with two separate subscriptions and see how I get on.

I had to come back to England temporarily to sort out a health issue - the good old NHS is a bit kinder on the wallet than health care in the US. So for recent figures I've been back here in Manchester.

Situation explained.

I actually played Football in Old Trafford when I was about 12! True story!!

Wait... how long ago was that? My brother did the same thing in a 5-a-side citywide tournament final that was played before a game versus Derby County. They lost on a penalty shoot-out (but he scored, so can say that he actually scored a goal at Old Trafford!)... and I was pitchside for the game. You weren't in the same game, perchance?

By the way, I've lived stateside for 10 years now. The health situation is quite simple, as are most things there. If you're rich, there is nowhere in the world better to live (in my opinion). But if you're poor, there aren't many places worse. Most decent companies provide some realistic way for their employees to get health insurance - but even then, most aren't free and it isn't cheap. Prescriptions also cost a fortune - often running into hundreds of dollars each.
And basically, if you have no health insurance, you can either a) not get sick, b) face bankruptcy, or 3) keep your UK citizenship so you can return when you need to.

Oh, err... back on topic. Has anyone in the UK got their shipping confirmation for Zodac yet? Yes, I know there was a weekend, but I've never had to wait 5 days before (and I always order within minutes of the figures being available).

My Mer-Man's came on sat but I was away in the lake district for the bank holiday weekend so I only just picked em up today.£12.21 customs fee. These two figure are in the worst condition of all the figures I've got from Matty so far. I only keep one MOC so am going to try and salvage the best one buy gluing the part of the blister back on the card where it's come away.
